Changing the boss is not a big deal at all. Hardest part is getting the variator nut off. You need an impact wrench or something to hold the variator while you loosen the nut. Once you get that off it's really easy. Look up scooter CVT on youtube or google. You'll learn a lot about how they work.

@ wordslinger, yeah in the UK, not sure of the laws your side, i think its restricted in the uk because 17yr olds arnt allowed to ride more than 50cc but im deffinitly not 17 anymore, so it needs to be de-restricted



@peters, thanks but im not sure you read my actual issue, ive seen many vids on how to change the boss, that all looks easy and straight forward, the issue im having is removing the crank case cover to get to it, for some reason it doesnt want to come off!

Pound on it with a big rubber mallet, when it loosens up you'll hear it.

If it doesn't loosen, look around for the last bolt you forgot to take off.

Dead blow hammer.

I didn't understand because you called it a crankcase cover

It's called the CVT cover

Try wedging a putty knife into the crack. There are two locater dowels inside the cover that do get stuck. The cover is NOT water tight so no worries on making a dent in the seal/case.
